A complete, self-hosted Nextcloud platform for UK political constituency organisations. Files, video calls, tasks and calendars — with official ONS data baked in.
Constituency Connect provisions a fully-configured Nextcloud instance for each Westminster constituency. Official ward boundaries, correct ONS codes, and a complete folder and team structure — generated automatically from official government geographic data.
Governance, finance, campaigns, policy — each working group gets their own folder with correct permissions. Sub-folders follow official ward boundaries.
Nextcloud Talk handles everything from one-to-one officer calls to full constituency video meetings. Critical for island and rural constituencies.
Deck boards for the executive committee and each working group. Campaign planning, policy work, events — tracked visibly.
Constituency events, campaign dates, officer meetings — shared calendars visible to the right groups, synced to phones and desktops.
Every officer role gets their own account. Groups are anchored to official ONS constituency codes so nothing gets muddled across regions.
Ward names, GSS codes, SP constituencies, council areas — all pulled from the MySociety MapIt API using current 2024 boundary data.
The entire setup is driven by a single constituency GSS code. Everything else — ward names, tier groups, folder structure — is generated automatically.
Enter your Westminster constituency's GSS code. The tool queries the MySociety MapIt API and pulls your Scottish Parliament seats, council areas, and all official ward boundaries — current as of the 2024 General Election.
Open the browser-based config wizard. Set your Nextcloud URL, email domain, working groups and officer roles. No command line needed — download the generated config file and upload it to your server.
One command provisions everything: officer accounts, group structure, group folders, Talk rooms, Deck boards, and shared calendars. Idempotent — safe to re-run if anything needs updating.
Role accounts come with generated passwords in a Bitwarden-importable CSV. New members start with a curated view — Talk rooms and folders revealed progressively as they complete onboarding steps.
Constituency member data, canvassing records, and internal communications are sensitive. Constituency Connect is built on Nextcloud — open source, self-hosted, and subject only to your own data protection policy.
Self-hosted on Cloudron. Your server, your jurisdiction. No third-party cloud provider has access to your data.
Open source throughout. Nextcloud, the setup tooling, and the config wizard are all fully auditable.
GDPR-ready structure. A dedicated Data Protection Officer role account with its own folder. Retention policies built into documentation.
ONS codes, not guesses. Member data is organised by official ward and constituency boundaries — correct for Electoral Commission returns.
The platform handles the full complexity of UK electoral geography — devolved tiers, council structures, and boundary changes all accounted for.
